Day 2 of hanging my paintings on railings..

If you're a regular reader of my blog (are there any??), then you' will have heard me wittering on about "Cheltenham Art in the Park" which is subsidised by Cheltenham council and gives artists the chance to hang their work on railings around the Imperial Gardens in the centre of Cheltenham for a week. It's been going on the best part of 30 years and some of the exhibitors have done every year too, thus there is a really good sense of community and spirit there. It's the last week of the 4 this week and it's my turn! I didn't sell anything last year and it is a big commitment having to get up every day before work to hang my paintings and then go back at 8pm to take them down. Especially given our current weather and my bad back :( Fortunately yesterday was glorious sunshine and so there were a lot of people looking and with the Fairford Air Show being cancelled, there were a lot of extra people milling around town too to boost figures even more. I live in hope of selling something this week, but so far I have no news to report. I'm looking forward to my 2 slots of stewarding I have to do this week, as you get to meet plenty of people and it's always exciting selling paintings, even if they aren't your own! So keep everything crossed for me, after a pretty terrible month with one thing or another I could do with some luck x
